It takes time to get to where you hope to go. When you’re starting over again, you have to give yourself a chance to see what works and time to build something sustainable. You have to trust that what you’re doing is right and live with the results. And if everything goes according to plan, it gives you an extra bounce in your step. Of course, when your best player goes down with a sprained MCL, that bounce, literally and figuratively, can be less exhilarating.
